Many of us I trust have heard about commercial maps that drop in deliberate errors as a way to catch copyright infringement, like bridges in fields. Should anyone want to put bridges in an otherwise empty field I have a spot for you, seriously....
Last weekend I was in Perth, ON (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.9023&lon=-76.2461&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF) (I was looking for an excuse to get out of Toronto for the G-20), and while in Perth I saw (but didn't have the time to document) two bridges in an otherwise empty field. Algonquin College's Perth campus (http://www.algonquincollege.com/perth/) has construction training courses and the field just to the west of the college is used for various student projects. Normally one sees things like sheds in that field, but at least last weekend there were two stone bridges in an otherwise empty field. Being presumably student projects it is doubtful those bridges will still be around in 6 months, but for now they are there and they are legit... Should anyone in the Perth (well Ottawa) area want to have some fun with a seeming deliberate error, well ... :-) Colin McGregor _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
